St. Patrick’s Day is here… and while many people are reaching for green beer (and I have in the far distant past), I think there’s a much more delicious way to celebrate something green. That’s right—green tea is the real pot of gold. Why Green Tea Deserves a Toast Green tea has been treasured for centuries for both its flavor and its feel-good benefits.
